You’ve lived it—now watch it.

High school isn’t a perfect coming-of-age movie. It’s messy, exhausting, and sometimes, it’s just sitting in a parking lot at midnight, eating fast food with your best friends. 

Growing Pains is a raw, electric, and deeply personal look at what it really means to be a teenager, created by the people who know it best—teenagers themselves.

Three groups of friends. Their lives intertwine in ways they don’t always see, in moments both big and small. A friendship shifting like sand. The kind of laughter that echoes for days. This is a play that doesn’t sugarcoat high school—it holds up a mirror. There are no clichés here, no caricatures of what adults think teen life is. Just the chaos, the beauty, the heartbreak, and the tiny flickers of magic—like fireflies in the dark.This is your drama, brought to life. This is real. And it is fantastic.
